Think these guys can launch me on a martian trajectory?

Check out this article giving logical reasons for me to not return to earth on my mars mission!

 I'll save tons of money!

Oh and now that SpaceX is supposed to replace the shuttles, do you think they will give me a cheap ride to mars? I knew I shoulda bought stock in those guys! I think i've commented on the awesome falcon9 before...

       Nothing says 'Seat of your pants' like this quote "With a vacuum specific impulse of 304s, Merlin is the highest performance gas generator cycle kerosene engine ever built, exceeding the Boeing Delta II main engine, the Lockheed Atlas II main engine and the Saturn V F-1."

Better then the giant ass Saturn V! (wikipedia) That commands respect, considering the Saturn V's brute force abilities.  Consider for a moment just the raw size and power of the proven F-1 engine.

 Taking this quote from wikipedia, consider just how bad ass this is -

"The F-1 burned 3,945 pounds (1,789 kg) of liquid oxygen and 1,738 pounds (788 kg) of RP-1 each second, generating 1,500,000 pounds-force (6.7 MN) of thrust. This equated to a flow rate of 413.5 US gallons (1,565 l) of LOX and 257.9 US gallons (976 l) RP-1 per second. During their two and a half minutes of operation, the five F-1s propelled the Saturn V vehicle to a height of 42 miles (68 km) and a speed of 6,164 miles per hour (9,920 km/h). The combined propellant flow rate of the five F-1s in the Saturn V was 3,357 US gallons (12,710 l) per second, which would empty a 30,000 US gallons (110,000 l) swimming pool in 8.9 seconds. Each F-1 engine had more thrust than all three space shuttle main engines combined."

 Yea, thats how I want to travel, millions of pounds of thrust sending my ass hurtling towards mars with an awesome speed, blasting through the atmosphere at 10,000 MPH (or whatever). I just hope my beer doesn't get all shook up and foamy before I run out of oxygen.
